Please complete city work at Marina

To the Editor:

While I was walking at the Oak Ridge Marina/Melton Lake Park to watch and admire the young rowers, who came to our town for the spring training and competition from several colleges all over the country, I saw this unfinished electrical work construction site by the city of Oak Ridge (COR). The irony in this eye-soaring site is that the work there has been ongoing on for a long, long time and is located next to the recently built beautiful gazebo with blue colored roof.

I was amazed of the condition of this site left unfinished during this important annual rowing event, which is well known over the years always to happen during the March spring breaks. What a contrast to the beautiful view we have at the park.

The COR should not lose this great opportunity for luring these young college visitors to advocate the city’s unique beauty at the park, and I am sure that the COR utility planners will do everything to remediate this long overdue situation in timely fashion. I took some pictures to reflect the construction status to share with your readers, and I hope before the national rowing competition starts shortly this very unsightly view will be taken care of soon.
